@Mason_King2@winnythetrue@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek Mitchell’s advanced stats haven’t been bad at all this year. They have had lackluster draft picks but made up for it with IFA signings. I still think the royals are in a better position than the Giants at this point though
@Mason_King2@winnythetrue@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek I also find it funny how you focus on Cag’s defense compared to a player who rarely even plays defense. Both players are solid, but both are progressing as well. It’ll be an interesting debate in a few months for sure though
@Mason_King2@MatchingPatek@ByrumEnjoyer@winnythetrue Aside from that ball in the gap yesterday, he played well (threw a runner out at home) and went 4 for 5. I’m sure the royals would live with that if the bat is that good. I think we are seeing improvement even from last year so only time will tell
@Mason_King2@MatchingPatek@ByrumEnjoyer@winnythetrue Bro what are you saying 😂 he NEVER played the position until mid-2025. He doesn’t even have a full season’s worth of reps at RF at the minor league level nor the MLB-level. Give the kid time it’s not an easy position to learn (especially for a lefty) even Acuna struggles in RF
@Mason_King2@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek@winnythetrue I would say at least over 80 games played. Even 60 is a bit small, but 28 is ridiculous to definitively say Eldridge is the better player at this point. Completely overlooked that Eldridge rarely plays the field as well
@Mason_King2@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek@winnythetrue Wrong again. Sugano actually has more career innings pitched than Eovaldi. Tommy John has nothing to do with it if he put up a 3.63, 3.80, and 1.73 ERA respectively the last 3 seasons
@Mason_King2@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek@winnythetrue If you’re putting this much weight into the first 60 games of the season, then you must think the COVID year was a real championship and actual data to look at
@Mason_King2@ByrumEnjoyer@MatchingPatek@winnythetrue Eovaldi literally just posted a 3.80 and 3.63 ERA respectively in 2023 & 2024 lol. That’s not far off from his current ERA at all. Also, the brewers and cubs games were not at Oracle, they were on the road. Nats were at Oracle though
